It was a shimmering promise on the horizon: As SOCs (systems on chips) became more complex, we would simply move from RTL (register-transfer level) to the next-higher level of abstraction—what some ...

Electronic System Level (ESL) design includes HW/SW interactions andhigher levels of abstraction to address system-level tasks. To keep track of design size and complexity, designers are nowlooking ...

During system-level design, engineers must understand the whole system's performance at a high level to see if it meets the required specifications. To do this, they need to specify and evaluate ...

Experts At The Table: EDA has undergone numerous workflow changes over time. Different skill sets have come into play over the years, and at times this changed the definition of what it means to ...

Cadence Design Systems has started bringing artificial intelligence (AI) into the fold on its flagship chip design suite to help designers build smaller, faster processors that consume less power and ...

The rapid escalation of AI/ML workloads—driven by increasingly large language models—is reshaping high-performance computing and AI data center architectures. Real-time inference and large-scale ...

The world of the hardware design engineer has changed dramatically in recent years. Designers no longer sit and code RTL in isolation to meet a paper specification, and then wait for a hardware ...

New review in iOptics demonstrates how AI is overcoming key challenges in metasurface design, enabling advanced applications in compact optics and computational imaging.

It is now practical to write software for real-time systems long before the actual computer hardware is sitting in a physical prototype. In today’s world it is rare to find electromechanical devices ...

The project is to develop a system-level distributed sensing technique for the long-term monitoring of bridges (e.g., concrete and composite bridges), using fiber optic, video motion, and ...
